This video shows fettling large castings in the foundry fettling shop. It illustrates the two following good practices: directing fettling dust into the booth and the exraction vents between worker and the source of dust. In addition, it alerts that the extraction machinery must be turned on and working before beginning work.

This video shows that closing windows and doors in cabs next to a crusher which breaks down boulders of quarried material into smaller pieces significantly reduces the dust exposure of workers inside the cab.
The film shows dust formation in a video and as a concentration curve from parallel dust measurements.

The video shows dust exposure levels of workers maintaining, servicing and repairing plants and equipment, which may generate airborne respirable crystalline silica dust. It compares the exposure levels with and without respiratory protective equipment (with an appropriate protection factor) and shows the dust concentration in breathing air is significantly reduced. The video shows the dust formation and as a concentration curve from a parallell dust measurement.
The video shows the function of a local exhaust ventilation at the workplace. It illustrates that exposure levels to dusts are significantly decreased if the local exhaust ventilation is applied at the source of dust generation. The film shows dust exposure in the video as a concentration curve in the parallel dust measurement.

This video shows that exposure to dusts, including to respirable crystalline silica dust can be significantly reduced for laboratory workers, if the local local exhaust ventilation systems are used at appropriate, i.e. not minimum, veolocity.

The report provides national occupational exposure limit values on various carcinogens, mutagens and reprotoxic substances from EU Member States.
This video relates to good hygiene practice for workers who use products containing crystalline silica. The video illustrates the following good practices: do not use compressed air to clean overalls; and prevent dust generation by exchanging dirty overalls with clean ones or cleaning overalls with a vacuum cleaner or in an air shower cabin.

This video shows how dusts can be cleaned off at workplaces and which inhalation exposures occur depending on the used technique. It illustrates the following good practice: use a vacuum or a wet cleaning method when cleaning surfaces in a workplace that uses substances potentially containing crystalline silica dust to reduce inhalation exposure.

This report describes the project ‘Foresight of new and emerging risks to occupational safety and health associated with new technologies in green jobs by 2020’, carried out for the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. The outcome of the project was a set of scenarios covering a range of new technologies in green jobs, with the impact that each could have on workers’ health and safety.
